Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced the arrest of Aron Orban, Viktor Orban's brother. The suspect was arrested on charges of aiding illegal immigration and people smuggling. The investigation is being led by the National Asset Recovery and Data Protection Directorate and the National Bureau of Investigation.
Several people were arrested in Budapest and two localities in the Pest district. The names of the remaining defendants have not been released.
Viktor Orban stated that "this is a political witch hunt. The goal of this dirty political game is to eliminate rivals and establish a one-party system. My true purpose is me. My little brother is just being used to get to me."
